As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 lower. However, a 72 head package of 664 lb. heifers had that weight range sharply higher than last week's light comparison. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply of feeder calves, a moderate supply of slaughter cattle and a light supply of replacement cattle.
